Makselife Vertical Plan With Me | First Full Week Of 2022!

[@TheEmPemm]

I am in a relatively good place right now but I swear my mood lifts so much when I see a new video from Cindy. Daily videos in December were heaven so I am having to adjust to 'just' a few videos a week, but there always seems to be one just when I need it ❤

[@wildly_heather]

RIght? At 11 am yesterday, I kept wondering "WHERE IS MY CINDY VIDEOOOOOOO" :) I'm so spoiled :D

[@bookishkat.3390]

I'm getting married this week so needless to say I'm beyond excited for it :)

[@werelemur1138]

Congratulations!

[@mcallahk]

I'm starting a new position at work! Originally I was only a temporary employee, but they decided that I did well enough to stay permanently. I'm pretty excited but also nervous.

[@werelemur1138]

Congratulations!

[@aldakendall4921]

Woo hoo! Congratulations!

[@aravaerskine2609]

On your question to resolutions: I'm doing a no buy year for all things even remotely connected to stationery. I have so much stuff. I don't need anything else. I made a dedailed plan, rules, everything. Now I "only" have to stick to it ;D Your anti-consumerism playlist really helped me! Thank you!

[@elsbells4841]

Happy 2022, all. Great way to start the new year BTW, with Cindy in her pink sleeves, haha. I swear that is the highlight of any Cindy YT upload - means I am not the only one who starts work in her jammies. And also yes I know the movie that song is from - the very first Muppet movie, Fozzie and Kermit sing it on their road trip 😁 Love that song

[@HanCanPlan]

Um…you blew my mind with the habit tracker label! You’re so creative. ❤️

[@catcy90]

The cool thing this week is my son is finishing at a Covid lab prior to his move to San Antonio. I'm very excited for him to make a new life and continue adulting. Covid college grads had a difficult time trying to find a purpose in life. Have a great time with the kids!

[@plannerbabe_jb9064]

Ha ha the video for Land of Confusion. Remember how he pushed the panic button at the end? That video was hilarious. Enjoyed having a video up today. 💕

[@dianebadger51]

I'm using the Makselife planner as well this year, looking forward as to how you plan in yours. My word for this year is "Joy" as I have depression and want to put more joy in my life. I really enjoy all your videos and what you create. Keep it up!!

[@francescad4651]

That a great way to try to add Joy in your life: a planner! Get some beautiful stickers too! Stickers are my joy!

[@estherhernandez8332]

I f’n love that you are planning in your robe with your coffee! It makes me feel normal😂

[@amyparris261]

Looking forward to getting back to normal activities (driving, household) after 7 wks of recovery from knee replacement surgery. Though I have enjoyed my downtime and seeing my family step up to take care of all the things I need to fill my day with more active tasks & more unplugged. 1 exception is while kid (elementary) at school rewatch WOT I feel I missed so much the first time watching with non-book reader hubby.

[@kathy4g565]

I love Han Can plan kits and enjoyed watching you plan with them! Reminds me of the PWM’s you used to do 🥰

[@laurad.5310]

I tested positive for Covid last week. My quarentine ends on Thursday and my kids (who have no symptoms, and haven't been tested) quarenteen starts when mine ends.Soo I will be homeschooling a special needs autistic 3 year old and 6 year old kindergardener for the next week and a half.

[@lynleystg3222]

I feel like a good way to manage the bump would be to get a piece of rigid card or plastic cut to the size of your page to put underneath when you're getting set up. That way the bump would still be there, but it wouldn't interfere with your ability to write smoothly or line things up nicely

[@carriebartkowiak]

That small pink cutting mat she has might work for that. I think she might've gotten a pencil board for her Baron Fig too, that would work.

[@fibrarian]

I'm off on a beach holiday with my parents and my brother and his girlfriend (we are very lucky that this is safe to do where we are, and that everyone is fully vaccinated and 3/5 boosted). Had a frustrating start to the year as a bunch of my expensive stuff broke (phone screen and apple watch battery kaput) but I'm enjoying the time to relax in the sea and finish all the handmade Christmas presents for friends that I just didn't have time for last month

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

Hopefully, I’m starting a three-week radiation treatment (15 days total), which will bring my prognosis of ever getting breast cancer again down to 3%! Everyone, please schedule your mammograms for the year!

[@lismarkmannmller2873]

Best wishes 😊 . It’s two years since i finishen radiation for bc.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

@@lismarkmannmller2873 Congratulations! I woke up at 3am…not good. First treatment is about 8 hours from now. Maybe I’ll get a full night’s sleep after the first treatment is done? I’m not full of anxiety. I guess it is more like I am concerned about the unknown? Will I have an easy time with the treatments, or have some uncomfortable side effects? My path since lumpectomy has been so easy and life-affirming that I guess I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Isn’t that silly? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lismarkmannmller2873]

@@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore it’s not silly. It’s normal😊🤣. Because we have never tried it before. I hope the first treatment went well. Tomorrow i will meet with the oncologist for my two years control. And i’m afraid even thoug i think every thing is allright🙏🏻. We will never forget. Now we can do anything🤣. I will make a pilgrim journay this sommer.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

@@lismarkmannmller2873 I will be sending up prayers for a good result on your two-year check-up. Alas, I did not get to start my radiation today. My wound was complicated by a hematoma and it is taking SO LONG to close. We are going to try again next Monday. Please let me know how your appointment goes. 🥰

[@lismarkmannmller2873]

@@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore my appointment went well. Still cancerfree🍾🥂👍🙏🏻

[@beautifulenigma1724]

I’m starting therapy back up with a new therapist this week, so I’m excited for that (and a little nervous). I’ve had a long history of bad mental health workers. I started up with a new psych a couple months ago (my third of 2021..it was a crazy year) and I LOVE her, and she hand-picked the therapist for me, so I’m really hoping this works out. I’m still finalizing my resolutions, but I got a lot of inspo from your different goal videos last year. I’m going to attempt my first Dutch door in my bujo for the goal tracking and 22 in 2022, like how you did yours for the first half of last year. I also want to say thank you for being honest about your chronic health issues. I have several chronic illnesses (and pain), so it can be comforting to commiserate with others. I have a difficult time showering as well, so we can be grody together haha. Oh and cold sets off my pain and flares as well. I hope your body can acclimate to the colder weather so it isn’t such an ass whenever it’s cold out.

[@werelemur1138]

I also have worse pain in cold weather. And I live in Los Angeles, so people who live elsewhere are probably silently mocking me right now, but I can't imagine moving anywhere that got REALLY cold.

[@533134]

I’m hoping for a productive week and that the surge at my work ends 😅

[@planwithkellye2926]

Hi I’m looking forward to my new job and seeing how my new routine will be. First office job for me since 2019 so it’s quite a lifestyle change. Love your spread and seeing your process ♥️

[@werelemur1138]

Congratulations!

[@mamadeb1963]

I'm going back to work after covid! That's exciting to me.

[@suddenlyezra5782]

My trash has been picked up before noon once. Coincidentally it was the one time I was running behind and couldn't get home until 1230.

[@saraangel6696]

For my lattes, the sweet spot for me is using lactose-free milk because it already tastes sweet but it’s not so sweet that it feels like sugar was added because i despise coffee with sugar unless it’s a bombom

[@craftingrubydreams]

Flying back to DC (flight today got cancelled and should be :fingers crossed: flying back early tomorrow morning) and getting started on my HB90 goals.

[@sallynoma5310]

It would be great to hear your thoughts comparing Napa to Denver or just CA to CO generally. Weather, house sizes, social issues, etc.

[@francescad4651]

I love your lives but boy I do miss this prerecorded sometimes!

[@AshleyRebecca]

Love HanCanPlan. I think she started her sticker shop because she used the MakseLife. The your videos as always!!! The change in background is startling fyi. So use to the white. I think I prefer the other one.

[@danielleatyeo6087]

Fern Creek Stickers now has kits for this planner

[@tinamickelson9459]

I never follow thru on resolutions but I have 2 long endurance races on the calendar for this spring and summer so I need to build a running/strength program so I hit my goals without getting hurt. I also need to make a business plan to start my coaching business. That’s scary

[@annec8127]

Did my PS setup over the weekend and am looking forward to getting some goals moved forward. In particular, I'm giving up a phone game (that I play with family, so it does have social value) in order to have more fulfilling time for myself in the mornings and evenings. I'm aware I'll need to reach out to them more often, since I won't be "seeing" them on the game chat, but I wanted to do that more often anyway.

[@Lucy-vx2ls]

No resolutions for me. My kids don't go back to school til next week, but my husband goes back to work tomorrow, so my kiddos and I will be hanging out and maybe go to the zoo depending on the weather. As a former homeschool mom, I live for weeks like this. 💕

[@kawaiitropix4837]

For a time Weekly planning was my distraction to STOP online shopping but with covid shutdowns there were no kid events ⚽️⚾️🏆to document . It then became an emotional diary which I didn’t like to manifest 😅🤣 please give me more ideas😎🤩🥳

[@susan_brehm_art]

Looking forward to a quilting retreat Jan 6-9. 😊😊😊

[@carriebartkowiak]

This is hella basic, but I'm looking forward to moving into a 120gsm grid book after being in a Stalogy for last quarter. No more ghosting!!!

[@barbarawest1205]

I decided to try a set of Makselife Companion Notebooks and they should arrive Jan. 07. In the meantime, I'm getting kind if excited about brainstorming in advance, using the freebie files and assorted YT videos to guide me.

[@werelemur1138]

I have my HB90 goals done and my kanban board is set up, let's goooooooo! :D

[@sarahwise2140]

I watch your videos and live vicariously through you! You have lots going on! I hesitated setting up my 2022 planner on NYE and New Year’s Day bc the last two years have been sh*t for planning. But I saw my kids’ hockey and soccer scheds getting updated yesterday, and a school principal e-mailed to say that in-school learning would commence on Wednesday (instead of Monday). So I spent a couple of hours putting everything in and making it pretty. Fast forward 12 hours where our premier hinted at a bunch of new stupid restrictions that would involve online school and no sports - all not good for my struggling kids. So not only did I waste my time, but my planner will look like hell after I erase/pull up whatever stickers I can. I’m now revising my personal goals for 2022 to figure out how I can potentially move my fam to the US.

[@annetomer2218]

Happy New Year! Just got an email from Planner Kate with March kits and she has Makselife listed.

[@aliyyahj]

First? Happy new year to you, Jesse, Kat and RJ! I feel like Julie recently did a PWM where the kit was sized for Makse but I can’t remember who the shop was 🤔

[@Worldtinkerer]

Happy 2022! THis week, I'm looking forward to nerding out about planner stuff and establishing a new goal-setting system for myself. Oh and, that sticker kit is really cute.

[@meeks4756]

Orange Umbrella Co makes kits for Makse Life.

[@mmanderso]

Moving Right Along - from the Muppet Movie. Now I'm singing that too and I think I need to go watch the movie. Happy New Years Cindy - Hope you have a great day with your kids.

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

I kept wanting you to see that you missed the numbers on the second page! ;) Then you saw it! :)

[@nightembergrl]

I'm looking forward to work picking back up (hopefully) it's been slow which has been pretty boring, a job is supposed to hit tho. Also doing Dry January, I've tried in the past and gotten like 2 weeks in so hopefully I can break that record.

[@adorabell4253]

The only new thing in my life is starting the budget mom’s budget by paycheque method but I started than on the 25th already so it’s not new, new. My days are looking to be the same as last year.

[@aldakendall4921]

No resolution for me. Goals. Goals work much better. Been setting up my new planner. I got moon phases stamps that I am using!

[@lafemmerouge4271]

Those are pretty stickers!

[@randomhodgepodge8902]

It's a living thing:)

[@colleenjennifer-lynn]

Dec 31, I bought a bullet journal - 2nd year - and for the first time I also have a journal specifically for work - daily and showing times. ANYWHO, my bullet journal …. I did my spreads January - May! This works best for me, I’m excited and creative. If I do it at the end of each month, I’d be less interested. Cindy, I fucking love your channel! I use what I have and it works for me! I’m no artist, but I love what I’m doing. I need to practice of my cursive; any ideas? ❤️🇨🇦😘

[@alaynat]

Hi from Colorado as well! We did get snow on Saturday! Did you enjoy the snow Cindy?

[@thebejeweledwitch]

This is so cute! I know you've probably said this a billion times, but what is that little tool you're using to trim the ends of the stickers with? Thank youuuuu❤️

[@kimberlyh8201]

i think it's called a palette knife!

[@thebejeweledwitch]

@@kimberlyh8201 thank you so much!

[@charitylady7389]

Regarding the potential sticker bump. Do you still have any of the interchangable covers from EC? I put one (both front and back) into my Agendio planner after a month or so and then move it so there is never more than a month worth of bumps. I use a daily planner so with a weekly you could probably get away with only putting it in once or twice. I hope this makes sense.

[@veroniquecastel9582]

How many planners do you use? Doesn’t it confusing using more than one?

[@nskalie]

Dunno how you feel about it but Kingsoopers workers are going on strike this week as an FYI

[@JavaFirst]

I just want to put it out there to people who will understand. I am extremely annoyed that I cannot plan until tomorrow evening.. I have a doctor appointment and I don't know what is going to happen with that so I cannot plan anything until I know what he is going to say and what he is going to want to do. I injured myself on Christmas and it hasn't been a fun time. Is it could be something simple that antibiotics or other meds will take care of or it could be something that needs hospitalization which I'm hoping and praying is not the case. Anyway I'm just frustrated that I can't plan anything until tomorrow at the earliest and even perhaps after that until I know what's going on. Can anyone else relate? Would love to hear your comments people.

[@laineybugger]

I just can’t do undated planners!

[@maxf7255]

PLAN CAVE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sunshine423d]

I hated that video. And every time I hear the song, I still cringe… this has been super helpful. I’m not using the Makse Life planner, I’m using a couple of passion planners. I sat down and did my life compass and I am a little saddened by my scores…

[@marycnhatch4934]

This coming week??? No f'ing idea. Maybe: deep clean our front room, and maybe make cookies. I'm just blah. BTW, my damn-demic test was NEGATIVE.
